And I’m talking about the media specifically bc that’s who frames the Global South as “less than”. But they never talk about the part when for 400 years we were usurped of our riches and entire populations were enslaved to fund the rich world’s development into what they are now.

There’s this ingrained idea in both US and European media that they know better about the Global South. That we need meddling bc we don’t know what we’re doing, that we need to follow, never lead. If you’re a leftist you NEED to interrogate that bc that’s 100% colonizer imperialist FASCIST thinking.

Read this about María Corina Machado, especially if yesterday you bought into the English world media [they know *shit* about South America tbh] telling you she was “great”. She and Trump are cut from the exact same cloth.

The fact that Portland was able to hide their entire war zone from Kristi Noem shows you just how complicit they are in destroying their own city. That's how devious these antifa terrorists are. They hide their own terror from you.

Antifa stands for antifascist. Are you just stupid? There is no organization named Antifa. Kristi Noem will pay for her crimes against humanity. She can't be pardoned for state crimes.

Venezuela is fucked, but she’s the opposite of a solution. She’d sell the country to Trump for parts in a blink of an eye, they have the exact same neoliberal views.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Right! Like I feel she's a great *start* for someone who's into storytelling in music, and there's really not much of it in mainstream pop anymore like there was in the 90s/2000s, but the second you expand into indie artists there's A LOT of people writing brilliant stuff on the regular

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Do streaming algorithms keep trying to make you guys watch specific shows? Disney+ has been suggesting Good American Family FOR MONTHS after everything I watch, and Apple suggests The Morning Show after anything I watch too. Both are shows I have absolutely ZERO interest in. It’s weird, right?
